If, in this pale liquid sunlight finger, I draw your smile as it is now,Murmuring softly against my ear, amidst this pillow,Then there shall be a burst of warmthForever embroider-emblazoned on these white plains ofWeaving, And even when my eyes close - be it death or pause (for little death is not so,And in play and patter all bears thinking and doing, to say we did)-The beacon of your eyes will blink and wink andCrinkle wrinkleAgainst my chillednose.

Summer is uncharacteristically seasonally mixed this year;As if the earth has suddenly decided, perhaps, that it likes all seasons,(Except for the sleep of winter), and, so, gives us a taste of each, in the space of Several weeks: The jalapeno of summer makes us sweat, in the best of ways, beneath the smell of coconut oil and the beach towels we only see several times a year;The crunch of homemade bread (breathed in like freshly shampooed hair, undried And flung about, stinging one's cheeks in wild abandon) complete with the Tang of butter, melting and gleaming on lips, fed with searching palms;And the sudden crunch of green apple, jesting of spring, although the green is more held in this round orb, remembered, with its spurting juice upon a lover's nose (wicked granny, not so old after all), than in the dew-dropped leaves surrounding of A few weeks back, Made more surprising, by the painting of Brie, coating our tongues with honey warmth,whichIces its sudden, slick, summit.

If this existence, in which we are orbs of a larger part,Shells of the one shell,Dust collected, into bins of we's,Amassed carvings of longings for Happy Play by the Great Being, Breathed Into; gentle empowered Marionnettes of Living, Then it is enough that we recognized each other,Children in Paradise, Until Now.Now is the leaf, unfurled;Now is the Nectar and newness,The Fulsome Fruit, and Juice of Being, And More-Than-Seed, spilling JoyInto the Corporeal Expression of More Now. It is Here-we-are,Gently set into a Garden,To Grow as We will.

There are small lines about your lips.I think that each line tells a story of all the stories, concerning skin, and art,And Love, And with every imprint of Time upon us, Be it Sorrow or Joy,Meaning is impressed on the shell of us, Like a gentle Sculptor's Model,Developing nightly. I like to trace them, softly, in the darkness, those small lines, Imagining the words, (coaxed from you with low rumbles and beard in neck growling)and watch the breath that comes with their Awakening,Which seems, like Magic, to Rush to Touch,Summoned.You call it "Fight Against Resuscitation", but I notice, cheekily,Your lack of struggle.You always said you loved empowering things you Desired.Am I just a Hand, then, after all, shifting in this Shape with You?Come! Sway with me, this little while, Sweet, and I will show you the wayHands Speak with Silent Sigh.

I thought of a bloke from Cross Harbour, whose "sentence", it seems, wasn't glee;His main fault? A knowledge of barbers, and living that idea of "Free".With shares and his bust, I confess great more trust,Cause he said , "You can break me, not bow me."
